CDs
|
*Annual Percentage Yields are effective as of May 4, 2018. The APY assumes all interest remains on deposit until maturity. The withdrawal of interest before maturity will reduce earnings and may reduce the APY. A penalty will be charged for an early withdrawal. Minimum deposit to open these CD’s is $1000.00.
Certificates of deposit are savings products that have a fixed term to maturity and a fixed rate, making it easy for you to forecast savings income.
Standard Certificates of Deposit
Who says there are no guarantees in life? With a Certificate of Deposit, you’ll receive a guaranteed return on your investment with the security of FDIC insurance on up to $250,000 of deposits. You choose the specific length of time at a set rate of yield that works best for you and your goals.

CDARS
If you are thinking of depositing more than $250,000 in a CD and want full FDIC coverage, we provide the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service known as CDARS. Everything for this service is handled through Cornhusker Bank. A large deposit is broken into smaller amounts and placed with other banks that are members of a special network. Those member banks issue CDs in amounts under $250,000, so your entire investment is eligible for FDIC insurance, and all while working with just Cornhusker Bank.
You earn one rate on your entire investment, so you don’t have the hassle of negotiating multiple rates and receive multiple disbursement checks. You receive one regular account statement listing all your CDs, along with the issuing banks’ names, maturity dates, interest earned and other details.
How Does CDARS work?
- You enter into one Deposit Placement Agreement with Cornhusker Bank.
- You select an interest rate and a maturity which best matches their investment goals, based on our current CD options
- Using CDARS, we submit your funds for placement at member banks.
- Member banks issue the CDs in denominations under $250,000 so your entire investment is eligible for full FDIC insurance coverage
- You will receive written confirmation of deposit and a listing of all CDs.
- You will receive one monthly statement, and one single year-end 1099 that reports taxable income on all CDs involved.
